If the file is submitted correctly, all new beneficiaries will be added to your Ebury account.

You will then be prompted to the below page which is an overview of the file and transactions submitted.

After clicking on continue, you'll be sent to the Confirmation page, where you will input your 2FA code to confirm the operation.

Troubleshooting files

What happens when a file doesn't work as expected?

The system will show you the invalid payments and you should be able to see the reason why by hovering over the “ⓘ”.

Sometimes errors happen when the file structure is modified. If a field is not needed, do not "erase" the column - instead, just leave it blank.

By following the above table, you should be able to troubleshoot the issues and, if not, feel free to reach out to our expert help via the live chat button.
